You may think the snowmobile would be the recreational vehicle of choice in Minnesota; however there are some fantastic ATVing opportunities in Minnesota and the Southeast MN ATV Trail is one of them.
The riding season for these ATV trails is May 15 - October 31, you are likely to encounter snow and ice sometimes in the early part and likely in the late part of the riding season. If you have not navigated your ATV over these type of terrain conditions before, be sure to have a more experienced ATVer along for the ride so that you can learn to properly navigate these types of conditions.
The ATV trail has some great stops such as Rollingstone Creek and Garvin Brook that are located along the ATV trail. Much of this trail system runs through private property and pasturelands. Respect private property and do not chase livestock. Irresponsible activities by ATV riders are the number one reason that trails get closed.
The ATV trails themselves are rated as very easy and ATVers of every skill level will enjoy riding the terrain. The ATV trail is short at just over 12-miles long and if you want food, restroom facilities or you need to gas up your ATV, you can get all of that in the nearby town of Stockton.
These ATV trails are a great place for novice ATVers to hone their steering and navigation skills. Just remember to always wear your DOT approved helmet even if you're only planning on being on your ATV for just a minute. When you're looking for a fun easy day of ATV riding, look no further than Southern Minnesota ATV Trail!
